Eric Wood

I can't believe you didn't become a victim.

And maybe you did for a minute or two, I don't know.

But I wonder how were you able to know how to be that resilient, to reframe and see it so differently, especially because you're in physical pain too, right?

Everybody listening has dealt with challenges and I've dealt with mine.

But to deal with physical pain plus the actual pain of not being able to play, not knowing is my career over, not knowing what lies ahead of you, that's massively hard.

What do you say to the people listening that say, yeah, it was easy for Eric to find a why.

He played on an NFL team.

I mean, that's an easy why.

How do you advise people to find their why if they haven't been able to identify what they get?

That's a very important why.

And I appreciate you sharing that.

I know my road to why since I've been fired has been, it didn't happen overnight.

It definitely was a journey of discovery of, you know, am I going down the right path?

And maybe I am, maybe I'm not.

And then seeing a sign and then maybe getting feedback.

So for anyone listening right now that feels discouraged, just keep going, keep testing, keep trying and stay open to it and ask those questions.

You will get answers inevitably.

Okay, you have brought up God and faith a number of times so far on this podcast.

Take me into when did you find your faith?

What role has that played in this entire journey for you?
